Abstract

The objectives of the study funded by SD/PSGE are threefold: (1) to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in real staple food prices since the implementation of food sector policy reforms in Africa; (2) to identify the major factors affecting changes in these food prices; and (3) to assess the resulting effects of food system reform on household food security. The report focuses on six countries: two from East Africa (Kenya and Ethiopia); two from Southern Africa (Zimbabwe and Zambia); and two from West Africa (Mali and Ghana).
